The printer is designed to work well with most types of paper. However, differences in paper may
have significant effects on the quality of the print or the reliability of paper handling.
It is strongly recommended that you always test paper before purchasing it to make sure it provides
desirable performance.

Manual duplex printing is possible by using the multi-purpose tray. Automatic duplex printing is
possible by installing the optional 2nd cassette feeder with ADU.  However, you should not expect the
same print quality and reliability that you get with single-sided printing. We strongly recommend that
you follow the guidelines below.
Notes for manual duplex printing:
BDo not load more than 50 sheets in the multi-purpose tray.

paper path components.
BWith any label stock, the labels must completely cover the backing material.
